Some new Nintendo Japan release dates

[Jonnyram]

There's another Nintendo retailer conference going on in Tokyo today, supposedly with playable NSMB.

06/01
Metroid Prime Hunters DS

06/22
Magical Vacation DS

07/06
Rockman ZX
Miron no Hoshizora Shabon

It also looks like Tales may be delayed again -_-

[Duderz]

Any impressions on Magical Vacation DS?

[neo2046]

It also looks like Tales may be delayed again -_-

the delay is official now

it seems (I hope) Namco to be more serious to this title now

[neptunes]

is FF3 still comming out soon or...?

[Jonnyram]

Damn, they just started running TV ads too.
Good job they say "Coming Soon".

[cvxfreak]

Too bad about Tales. It's original release date was too suspiciously close to Xenosaga I and II's, but an even bigger delay sucks.

[gjb-sensei]

Nice to finally get a release date for Magical Vacation DS.

[clearacell]

is FF3 still comming out soon or...?

I would really like to know this as well :)

07/06 Miron no Hoshizora Shabon

what is this game about :)

[mutsu]

Another game I need to buy in June in the form of Magical Vacation DS? Oh my...

I really hope the game will support WiFi connection. Finding "amigos" on the GBA version was such a pain. (or in fact, rather painless, since no one around me except one was playing it)

[mutsu]

Oh by the way, Konami seems to be releasing "The Best" version of Castlevania Dawn of Sorrows on 6/29.

Also "The Best" for Goemon DS as well on the same day.

Someone quipped on 2ch: "Is there any Konami game that doesn't get a Best release?" It's turning into a running joke now.

05/18
Culchobit (GBA)
- create a soccer club
- Parity Bit dev
- Nintendo published

[neo2046]

[Jonnyram]

Mawashite Touch Panic and Digimon will both be Wi-Fi compatible.
Magical Vacation is touchpen only.

And after that, Konami Palace Selection...

if Magical Vacation 2 is really to be released at June 22
it is only around 2 months left
can they promote the game well?

They never do :/
I'm more worried about their ability to manufacture enough hardware.

No end in sight for Japan, is there? It's like the entire population of Japan wants one.

06/01 Metroid Prime Hunters DS

:(

[ziran]

great to see magical vacation ds get a date, i hope nintendo decides to localise it.

[ioi]

Well you can't fail to be knocked back by the next 3 months of releases performance-wise. As well as

English Training
Eyeshield 21
Children of Mana
Pokemon Rangers
Xenosaga 1+2
Contact

In the first 3 months of 2006, we have:

April
Legend of Starfi 4
Toeic DS? (what's this Jonnyram?)
Language Software 1-5
(Mother 3)
Tetris DS
Naruto 4

May
New Super Mario Bros

June
Metroid Prime Hunters
Magical Vacation 2

And no doubt plenty more to come, April especially (along with the 700k DS shipments) is going to be dominated by the DS.

[Scalemail Ted]

Toeic DS? (what's this?)

Hmmmmm... If google is to be trusted it is:

TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication)

found it here:

Yeah that's the impression I get from the pics etc, seems new to me though??

The second link is just Eigo Zuke, this is a new game out on the 13th April (next Friday), looks like a Dictionary or something:

Must have slipped by my radar unless it has only just been announced.
